I thought I would put a guide together to help you with how to plan for your family photo shoot. Ideas on where best to have the photo shoot? What to expect? What’s the best time of the day? What style of photos do you like? These are all important factors to take on board when looking to book your family session.

I love photographing throughout our beautiful seasons as there is always interest and colour and the change in light during the winter months makes for some great photographs. The light outdoors in the winter can create some dramatic photos, great for back lighting and adding warmth especially on a clear sunny winters day.

I would like to share a family photography shoot that I did autumn last year. As the trees start to make the transition away from summer, the colour shifting from green to a mix of bright orange, yellow and reds, makes for a wonderful backdrop for photographs.
